Good CGI costs money and can't be something you just half-ass.
Oh, it seems there's going to be more Maken-Ki! anime on the way. No idea if it's another full series or not yet.
Good 2D animation takes time and talent, and can't be something you can just half-ass too! Which explains a lot of anime too!
Conversely, there are plenty of movies, animated and otherwise, that make terrible use of CGI, despite having those big budgets.
But yeah, talent above all else!

Hmmm, I wonder if they'll get to the only good arc. In fact, I wonder if the first season did. I don't even know. Maybe I should watch it.

Best cheap CG are the ones in which you can reuse a bunch of shit often.
Just splash a different background and different filters over it.
Pretty sure Frontier did that all the time.
Has there been anime with stock CG footage for combination or transformation or w/e?

OH OH OH OH!
I wonder if this has anything to do with Production IG being pissed at an unnamed party for not paying up for work done! OOOOOOOH!
Looks like it sold just under a 3,000 BD+DVD volume average.
That's very true. But I think it's easier with hand-drawn animation to have a few good artists carry a large part of the creative load. CGI tends to require more specialization, and thus individual scenes will require more collaboration between multiple artists, rather than hand-drawn animation where you can have one guy do layouts and keyframes for an entire sequence.
I also personally think that CGI has certain inherent weaknesses that are usually only overcome with the very high budgets and large talent pools of major Hollywood films.
the race epispode of symbionic titan is the only recent example of great use of cg cars
if that means anything
interested to see the next Initial D, and if they have some nice CG cars this time
You didn't even get through the first half of Fujiko, so you can't pass that judgment.
A new short teaser for Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! that doesn't really show much of anything, but is suitably ominous:

Renge makes the best entrances.

perhaps the greatest cg road ever made. 11/10
ritualistic swag.
Well, they're certainly making the most of the premise.
The design of the VF-0A/D/S and the
SV-51 were much better than what was used in Frontier as well.

Ah that feeling when you leave school.
It was better than the first season. On to the special episodes and the movie.

Awesome. Get PV hype!
Says in the youtube description that it's an OVA. I wonder if they changed it from being a series. Either way, this looks good so I'll keep an eye out for it.
watch Kingdom. only then you'll understand
something something Baccano! ED

Not always happy fun illusion time anymore?
When a site doesn't have my opinions on it it can be deemed worthless. True facts.
Not my fault it's more fun to make fun of the show than watch it.
And now you know what Ryo from Niconico's favourite costume is from.
You're missing out on the best part of the show!
I really should just finish off the first series, but I think it is just too much cute girls doing cute girls for me. It's pushed me beyond my limits.
If I want news I stick with GAF. If I want trivia I go to TCRF. If I want to know news from a year ago reported today I go to Kotaku. Basically what I am saying is "NOPE".
Because it is just plain old jolly good fun!
I couldn't relate. My last day of sixth form involved a car being pushed into the common room and then said car having to be pushed out again (and some other malarky). But the teachers forgot to turn off the alarm so that went off and so the deputy headmaster came in a told us all off because there were exams going on and kicked us all out. Yes, my whole year was kicked out on the last day. No crying in the music room for us, just laughing in a pub.

So, I've been getting the strangest temptations to watch Idolm@ster these days.
Is this a worthwhile venture or am I setting myself up for pain and suffering?

A young teen's life isn't always happy fun illusion time. Sometimes it's brooding creeping illusion time.
I liked it. I don't know if it's a "worthwhile venture". I certainly thought it was.
There's no pain or suffering to be had from iDOLM@STER. And you don't even need to be familiar with the games to enjoy it.

It's a fairly well produced show with excellent animation. I wasn't big on it myself, not being interested by the characters or the more serious overarching narrative it tried to introduce, but episodes 8 and 9 were hilarious and I would wholeheartedly recommend those.

Haha, well I didn't finish my last year in a school either. But you know, that feeling when its your last day somewhere, with the same people.
The description on the site sounds like it will be a remake. The blurb calls the movie a "new construction" of the story featuring Takuto, Wako, and Sugata. This is supposed to be a brand new work which presents the characters in a completely new light, and represents the new vision of the Star Driver franchise. Or... something like that. Lol.
No shame in it. Its a cute fun show.
However Yukiho sucks so just be aware of that.
And its maybe better that way, and yeah new Tauburn look glorious.

I'm actually really interested in how they approach the movie.
Huge improvements can be made with the show compressed into a film format. I'll be there opening day.

Maybe Wako falls in love with three boys at once this time.
Newtype is going to have a feature on the Star Driver movie this month. They'll have comments from the staff and cast, etc. So I guess they announced this just before anything would leak from the mag. Pretty smart!
Confirmed returning characters from the official site: Takuto, Sugata, Wako, Head, Fish Girl, Keito, Benio, Kanako, Midori, Mizuno, Marino, Serina, Ryousuke.

Yeah, I guess the string of good episodes had to come to an end sometime. Not even lesbians or ownage backgrounds could save this episode from being such a lazily put together piece of shit.
Oh, and the next episode looks like it's gonna be really "amazing".

The trials of being Wako.
That's what really matter.
Would be great if this is superior fish girl arc or something (The only arc where the series structure not feel boring yet)
IM@S is legitimately good. Check it out!
